School Inclusion Summit 2026, an evolution of our annual summit that has been dedicated to fostering inclusive practices in educational settings. Over the past five years, the School Inclusion Summit (SIS) has brought together many participants and speakers annually across hybrid formats, creating a dynamic platform for educators, caregivers, self-advocates and practitioners to engage with diverse themes of inclusive education through keynotes, panels, lived-experience story spaces, and experiential workshops. It has served as a collaborative platform for dialogue, reflection, and learning inclusive education.
The theme for this year’s summit is “People and Possibilities: Pathways to Inclusion”. Through this, we will explore how inclusion is shaped across school ecosystems and organizations, and the possibilities that emerge when we adopt a strength-based, collaborative approach, alongside reflective practices.
As SIS 2026 unfolds, participants can expect a unique blend of insightful discussions, collaboration and networking, and immersive experiences. The summit serves as a beacon for those committed to advancing inclusive education, marking another milestone in its continued journey of fostering positive change.
